Kant's Introduction to Logic and Essay on the Mistaken Subtlety of the Four Figures

Martial Arts and Philosophy

Socrates, an Athenian soldier, was a calmly efficient killing machine. His student Plato was an accomplished and broad-shouldered wrestler. Martial arts and philosophy have always gone hand in hand, as well as fist in throat. Philosophical argument is closely parallel with hand-to-hand combat. And all of today’s Asian martial artslike Karate, Kung-Fu, Judo, or Aikidowere developed to embody and apply philosophical ideas. The Japanese martial tradition of Budo, for...
